The site index was last updated
30 April, 2008. By default the search engine tries to locate pages which have exact matches for all
of the words entered in your search query. If that fails, it then tries to
locate pages which contain any words in your search query. If that
happens a short message is displayed at the top of the search results
indicating this has been done. |

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search
behavior.
- phrase search
The search engine supports three types of phrase search.
- To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
Example: "NAF China Lake"
- To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square
brackets [around the words]
Example: [NAF China Lake]
- To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around
the words }
Example: {NAF China Lake}
- + and - qualifiers
If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the
page.
If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be
on the page.
Example: +always -never
- * wildcard
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the
same way as that query word will match.
Example: sky* will find Skyray, Skyknight, Skyhawk, Skywarrior, Skytrain
etc.
- ? wildcard
If a query word contains a ? any character will match that
position.
Example: b?g
- boolean search
You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT.
These operators MUST be in capital letters.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
